Ramadan is due to start this coming week inshallah and following the success of last year, LNM would like to invite the New Muslims of Leicestershire, along with their friends and families to a series of  Iftar get-togethers every Friday night during Ramadan at the Empire Conference Centre for an evening of good food, good company and spiritual inspiration.

Please keep the following dates in your diaries:

• Fri 13th August 

• Fri 20th August

• Fri 27th August 

• Fri 03 September

In keeping with the community spirit, we’d like to invite people to bring along food with them. So bring a dish if you can but just come if you can’t!

The evening will be  from Maghrib right through till after Tarawih prayers, and you are welcome to come along for the whole or just part of it. Inshallah we will get the chance to break our fasts together, stand in prayer together and have the opportunity to hear some beautiful recitation of the Quran during prayer.

The invitation is open to all New Muslims their friends and families, so spread the word.
